TORONTO — Crooks claiming to be Canadian embassy officials are targeting foreign workers who want to come here for jobs in hotels and construction, Foreign Affairs warned yesterday.
Websites and e-mails are used to lure workers with offers that the “Canadian Immigration Bureau” will give them a free “Canada Health Certificate” and jobs at the “Canadian Hotel,” or the “Hotel Omni Mont-Royal,” a government website warns.
The scam seems to be widening and last June the Canadian High Commission in Dhaka, Bangladesh, issued a fraud advisory warning on its website.

Immigrants are charged from $300 to $600 with the money going by wire transfer to Gambia, Senegal and other African countries.
The government website warns the e-mails and spam have domain names that include “yahoo” and “hotmail”.
“The Canadian government never uses poor English or request fee payments in U.S. dollars,” the website says.
One ringleader apparently uses the name Mrs. C.G. Rose, or Christiana Grand Rose.
